When I saw there would be a pet related issue at Paper Issues I had to get in on some of that! We're totally crazy cat people in this house, with three hilarious orange guys that think they run the house. Simple Stories generously sponsored the issue and I got to work with their Sn@p line of adorable cat themed products.

I layered lots of the cards, using both a-sides and b-sides because some of these patterns are just too fun. I love the whimsical but not overly cutesy look of this line.

I added stitching and pen detail, twine, and some fun wood veneer circles.

Please join us at Paper Issues until the 25th with YOUR "It's Raining Cats and Dogs" themed projects! Link up pets, critters of all kinds, a trip to the zoo, safari, an animal-themed
birthday party, rain, spring time, umbrella embellishments, singing in
the rain, something using Simple Stories products, and anything else you think fits the theme in some way.

There will be THREE prizes for this issue: one winner for posting a
dog-themed project, one for a cat-themed project and one winner who
posts something other than a pet-related project. The prize is a package
of Sn@p Insta-squares & Pieces and a package of Sn@p stickers from
either the cat, dog or summer set!!

Hi there Fancy Pants fans! Thanks for joining us today for the 2014 National Scrapbooking Day blog hop. If you arrived here without first visiting the Fancy Pants Designs blog please head there and see what this is all about.

I'm showing you a couple of cards today. Even if you can't take the time for a full page you can at least whip up a card or two to celebrate the day.

Both of these are "welcome baby" cards for some special pregnant friends:

What does the fox say? He says he loves you! The fox was cut on my Cameo and the paper is all from the As You Wish collection.

And here a couple of sweet elephants, also cut on the Cameo. This paper is from the Be Different collection and that balloon is from the ephemera set... so cute!
